Big House Expansion??

So with the new facility upgrades that have been announced I saw that almost every sports facility is up for some work accept the BIG HOUSE. I know we just spent like 250 mil on the upgrades and boxes just a couple years ago, but I thought I heard some news of some seating going in the voids between the new score boards and the boxes?? I figured that this would be included in this new 7-10 year plan, but did not see it on he website. Does anyone know anything more about it??

Lambeau Field which has a very similar design to Michigane stadium is putting in an addition much like what I think DB would be thinking of doing. Just a little look see . . .

That's just silly. You can't say, "So I know we just had a 250 million dollar expansion, but when's the next one coming?" Are we already taking the boxes for granted? Yeah, DB mentioned filling in the gaps, but that was just a "sometime in the future we'll think about this" thing, hold your horses there

Your lack of vision is what's silly. I'm about to fire up a Kickstarter campaign to get the Big House to one million (and one) seats. Come on, Brandon -- it's time to show the world the size of our balls.

Now hold on -- we need some people to be tsio fans just for hatred's sake. Plus, the illiterate, unwashed masses of northeast Ohio are not welcome among Michigan fans (unless they are 4 or 5* athletes, of course.)

It'd be cool, but for the time-being, not sure it'd be economically feasible. I highly doubt we'd sell out the cupcake games, and that would not look good for TV and the brand. I guess it really all depends on the demand the school is getting for extra tickets, as well as Ann Arbor's capacity to hold this amount of people.

If there's an additional 20-30,000 Michigan fans out there that want to come to the games and will if they can get tickets, I'm all for an expansion. But I have zero desire to expand for the sake of expanding, not sell out every game, or even worse, open up thousands of new seats for opposing fans to come in and use. There's enough Ohio scum that comes in for the game. Why give them more seats?

The plan has been shelved. Brandon is bringing the non-revenue sports up to top notch facilities status over the next 10 years, which is awesome for the overall Michigan brand. Remember, for every $1 Brandon spends we pay $2. I'm in no hurry to see ticket prices climb even higher.

At the current rate of expansion, Crisler will become the southwest mezzanine of Michigan Stadium by 2020. Further, Facilities Services will then have its administrative offices completely inside Concession Stand 9 behind Section 42 and the south scoreboard will be situated just across the street from Busch's.

I think it would be nice to just get some color in there. The new luxery boxes are so bland with just the plain blue. They should add some yellow borders or logos or something to them. Also, it would be nice if they added some more lettering/color around the perimiter lower walls on the field level. I think that would really brighten up the stadium and give it a some color.

Speaking of the big house, I was leaving one of the University parking structures after dark one night this week, having been parked on upper level. Up there I had a straight sightline to the massive Black M on the backside of the north scoreboard. It was lit up but the edges of the dark blue scoreboard melted into the rest of the darkness, so the effect was a huge Block M that looked like it was floating in the sky. It was beautiful.

I'm guessing some of the rooms in South Quad/West Quad residence halls must have this same stunning view.
